Yves Edwards to meet Jeremy Stephens at UFC on FX 5 in Minneapolis

A lightweight fight almost guaranteed to deliver fireworks has been added to UFC on FX 5.

Sources close to the event today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Jeremy Stephens (20-8 MMA, 7-6 UFC) vs. Yves Edwards (41-18-1 MMA, 9-6 UFC) has been added to the event, which takes place Oct. 5 at Target Center in Minneapolis.

The main card airs on FX.

Stephens vs. Edwards is likely to be part of the FUEL TV-televised prelims.

Stephens recently came to Edwards’ aid when the longtime vet withdrew from UFC on FUEL TV 3 and he posted a losing effort against Donald Cerrone. The setback was the second straight for “Lil Heathen,” who previously lost a decision to former WEC champ Anthony Pettis. The veteran’s notable victories include knockouts over Rafael dos Anjos and Marcus Davis, as well as a decision over Sam Stout.

Edwards’ third stint inside the octagon has been a mixed bag, as well. After returning to the promotion as a short-notice replacement in 2010, he went 2-0 before a KO loss to Stout halted his momentum. Edwards rebounded with a second-round TKO of Rafaello Oliveira at UFC on Versus 6 this past year, but he suffered a decision loss to “The Ultimate Fighter 12″ winner Tony Ferguson this past December at The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
